average balance basketball coming doubt five game group people points starters successful trying year
Why we were so successful this year was the balance of the five starters and people who also contributed off the bench. I doubt it will be any one person coming in and trying to average 25 points a game again. It's going to have to be the success of a group of people -- that's what basketball is all about.
count decision excited extremely final love points rebounds until
I'm extremely, extremely excited she made the decision to want to play again. That's a lot of points and a lot of rebounds we can't just count on and assume. So I'd love it, but it's not going to be final until it's final.
coaches good teammates
It's just a by-product of good teammates and the coaches put me in good situations. That's really what it is; I really don't think I did anything special.
approach game
It's a new season; it's a new month. We're 1-0 this month, and that's how we're going to approach it; every game is a new opportunity.
bed college fun score seeing typical
Their scoreboard, if you look up at the one on the side, it's not your typical college scoreboard; it's just two numbers. I went to bed (Friday) night, and all I could think of seeing we're down 30 and it's not a fun score to look at it.
against ball catch good happened kansas knew last playing putting senior struggling year
We were playing good defense, we're just struggling offensively putting the ball in the basket. This happened last year against Kansas on Senior Night, and we just knew we were going to catch fire, and Britt just got us going.
bit coming game great knew prepared time
We had a great game plan. I think we were a bit more prepared this time and knew what was coming so it was not such a shock.
obviously
Everything we do we're going to try to do it together. We obviously don't have any All-Americans on this team, so everything we do is going to have to be done by a group.
ball hard late shot tough turned work
We didn't make shots, we turned the ball over, we fouled late in the shot clock. It's tough because you work that hard to get back in the game.
attention both detail good job
This year, in the game's we've won, our attention to detail defensively has been the best. In both (Big 12) losses, we didn't do a very good job of that.
clock good job offensive possession shooting
Offensively, we've got to do a better job of getting better shots. It's not good when we're at the end of the (shot) clock every other possession shooting 27-foot 3-pointers. And that's a lot of me getting us in a better offensive flow.
beginning focus good greater needs pinpoint wish
I wish I could pinpoint that (the reason) because that's the one thing I highlighted to the team; we need to get off on a good start. I don't know if there needs to be a greater focus at the beginning of games; I don't know.
call change coach desire knows plays
I have a desire to be a coach some day, and coach Fennelly knows that. During the games, I call the plays (on the court), so there was no need to change that.
effort enthusiasm tried
There were times we tried to make a run. But we didn't have the kind of enthusiasm and effort we needed.
